Position Overview

Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ : ADSK) makes software for people who make things. We are a global leader in design and make software for architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, and media and entertainment industries. If you’ve ever driven a high-performance car, admired a towering skyscraper, used a smartphone, or watched a great film, chances are you’ve experienced what millions of Autodesk customers have built with our software. At Autodesk, we exist to turn ideas into new realities that shape a thriving future. Our software and services harness emerging technologies—such as additive manufacturing (3D printing), artificial intelligence, generative design, and robotics—that give companies and individuals the power to work more quickly, effectively, and sustainably throughout the entire project lifecycle.

Autodesk Fusion is the first 3D CAD, CAM, CAE, and PCB tool of its kind, unifying design, engineering, electronics, and manufacturing to connect your entire product development process into one cloud-based platform. In addition to the primary user-facing features of the software, Fusion provides APIs that allow for :

• Direct integration into the client application via Python or C++
• External data connectivity via GraphQL

We are looking for an experienced Senior Software Developer to join a new team that we are setting up, to create additional user value from these APIs.

This is a unique opportunity to work outside the traditional software development process used for our flagship products, and will be focused on delivering small, autonomous projects. These may include individual application add-ins for Fusion or creating plugins for other platforms that connect to Fusion data. Additionally, this team will be using the applications it develops to create user-facing content in the form of documentation, tutorials, and blog posts in order to help support our ecosystem of developers and customers.

Responsibilities

• Work independently to deliver applications built from Fusion APIs
• Propose and design concepts for new desktop applications or cloud integrations
• Deliver and support applications on the Autodesk App Store or other marketplaces

• Provide guidance and support to API user community

Minimum Qualifications

• Experienced user of CAD, CAM, PDM, or PLM APIs
• Experience building applications with 3rd REST or GraphQL APIs
• BS or higher in computer science, mechanical engineering or related discipline
• 5+ years of development experience using APIs to develop software integrations
• Expert in software development principles, practices, and methodologies
• Outstanding programming, debugging and problem-solving skills
• Ability to rapidly develop POCs to demonstrate ideas
• Familiar with Design Patterns and strong Object-Oriented programming skills
• Strong sense of responsibility, self-motivation and self-direction
• Fast learner with good problem-solving and troubleshooting skills
• Good communicator and documentation capabilities

Preferred Qualifications

• Proven success developing applications with Desktop CAD APIs
• Experience building with Cloud Based CAD APIs
• Familiar with 3rd party authentication and identity methods : OAuth2, PKCE
• Experience deploying and hosting applications
• Experience with any major JS framework such as React JS, Angular JS
• Experience with GraphQL client frameworks such as Apollo Client
• Experience publishing applications to third party marketplaces
